( 
)It is very important to give correct measurements for plus size girls and all clothing because each brand is so different.
I made up a spreadsheet to make it easier to write my auction description. Keep in mind, I did not know how to measure correctly and am still learning better ways.
You have one sheet in front of you with all the items you want to auction. Many of my auction items do not have all of these as I posted them before I decided to find an easier way.
If using this method, keep in mind, don't throw the sheet away. You can use this sheet to look up information quickly, especially if someone emails you with a question.
Here is what is on my spreadsheet.
Hope this helps!
